Stunning
Perfect for curvy girls, looks expensive and well-made in person. Wore for black tie optional wedding.

Fit and material looks sloppy
Cute conceptually. But it runs big and is quick to wrinkle--this is the first time I've had to spend significant time ironing an R2R rental. Wouldn't rent again.

cool but hard to wear
I rented this for work but the colors were just too loud so I wore it to a bar. I found it ultimately hard to mix and match. Perhaps people that are cooler than me could do it but it was not my favorite blazer.

lightweight, conservative silhouette, but low-cut!
This dress is low-cut but somehow still conservative! It is very lightweight so perfect for hot weather. I wore it for an outdoor vow renewal on a very hot day. It is a little puffier (e.g. in the shoulders) than I expected which I think is what makes it look like a bit more of a conservative silhouette--I liked it but probably would not rent it again.

GORGEOUS and surprisingly perfect for conservative Indian wedding!
I wore this for the mehendi at a Muslim Indian wedding (in Texas) where a high neckline was appropriate and many (but not all) of the guests wore traditional Indian outfits. (Unfortunately, my own outfit had not arrived in time and this was a last minute rental.) This was absolutely perfect--multiple guests commented that they thought this was an Indian/Indowestern gown! I accessorized with Indian jewelry (earrings, bangles). Plus, it looked stunning. I would rent again for a formal Western occasion as well. Note: The only downside is the bust slip is a little low-cut depending on the bra you wear. I would possibly rent 12R or wear a lower-cut bra (which uh, is not ideal for a conservative wedding). So keep that in mind.

gorgeous & glam!
I rented this as a backup & ended up wearing the other dress as it was more appropriate for the event. But this was gorgeous and I would absolutely wear it again. The only size available was 12L but I would probably have rented 12R--I'm 5'5" and found it to be a little long. I also think it's best for something more fall/winter because of the jewel-tone.

amazing
I wore this bag almost daily for weeks--you can dress it up, down, etc. It's also just super well designed--durable despite being white, way more space than you expect, great pockets inside (one of which is spacious and zipped). It would be a perfect bag with a zipper across the top--that's the only reason I didn't buy it to keep in my closet! (Although truthfully, I'm still considering it.)

I did not wear this.
I agree with another reviewer that it looked cheap and not really usable for work--in particular the scrunchy waistband and fabric. If you are hoping to wear this more casually, it would probably work but I didn't feel it was a super special piece in terms of how it looked on me so I didn't wear it/keep it. There was nothing wrong with the fit/general style, though so if you like the style I would go for it.
